RECEIPT AND SPECIFICATION forming part of Letter Application filed July 16, 1886.

To all whom it "11mg; concern:

Be it known that I, .IlUeo LoEwENBAoH, of Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee, and in the State of \Viseonsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receiptand Record Books; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

M y invention relates to shipping-books of the class known as manifold books; and it consistsin certain peculiarities of construction, as will be fully set forth hereinafter.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of one fOlllIOf my invention, showing the book open before the carbon paper is applied; and Fi g. 2 is alike view after the carbon paper has been applied and the sheet folded ready for. use.

A is a book having a series of leaves bound therein, every alternate leaf, B, being a permanent leaf and the interposed leaves, C, being detachable, so that after their removal only a stub, 0, will remain of each detachable leaf. The detachable leaves Care originally wider than the permanent leaves B, the leaves C being practically double the width of the leaves 1%, and, in addition to the line of perfo rations (1. shown in all the forms for separating the leaf 0 from its stub c, there is shown another line of perforations, b, separating the loft-hand portion of the sheet 0 from the righthand portion, which latter in the forms shown in said Figs. ii and 2 I have marked (7. D I) "are strips of carbon paper of substantially the length .and height of the permanent leaves B.

1 term my device a triplicate book, because in its use I have one record (on the permanent leaf l3) and two copies of the same on the sect-ions (1 and C of the detachable leaf. The detachable leaves project farther to the right than the permanent leaves, and hence when the bookis opened to make a new entry there is no time ost in turning over the used permanent leaves, as would be the case, for instance, were the leaves 1- and 0 equal in width; but as it is the permanent used leaves form a compact body by themselves at the left hand of the opened book, as shown by the greater space between the left- Parana (Enrica.

s Patent No. 399,060, dated March 5, 1889.

Serial No. 208,170, (No model) hand edge of the (front) cover, and the adjacent leaves over the space shown between the right-hand (rear) cover edge and its adjacent leaves, and this is a feature of great ll'llpOllil-llfie, as these books are chiefly designed for use as shipping-books, and express and freight agents have but little time to spare in giving receipts.

The drawings clearly illustrate the method of using the triplicate book. A carbon sheet, D, is placed over the section marked 0 in Fig. 1, and the righthand leaf B, Fig. 1, smoothed down over that, and another carbon sheet, D, placed over said leaf B, and then the upper section, C, (shown in Fig. 1,) is turned over to the left, as shown in Fig. 2, and on this surface (which is preferably ruled, as shown) the entries are made, and then the sections C and C are removed, leaving in the book A the just-described leaf B, with the (carbon) entry thereon and the stub (Of the leaf O 0 just detached.

Instead of using the two strips of carbon paper such as l have described I may em ploy a single sheetof such paper, making the latter of substantially the dimensions of the detachable leaves, and when one sheet of carbon paper is thus employed it is first laid upon a detachable leaf and the part 0 of the latter, with the carbon paper thereon, folded over the adjacent permanent leaf 1), and the book is thus made ready fora triplicate entry.

1 am aware that letter-press-copybooks have been. made wherein narrow leaves of thin tissue copying-paper (designed to be moistened for the reception of the impression of inkwritten matter) alternated with wider sheets of paper of suitable thickness and quality to be written upon by ink, and such I do not claim, all the sheets of my books being practically of the same quality of paper, and especially designed to be written upon by a lead-pencil, and the copies to he made by the use of carbonized paper, such being well known under the title of manifold-books, as hereinbefore stated.

llavin g thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A record and receipt book consisting of stiff covers and alternate permanent and detaeh- In testimony that I claim. the foregoing I able leaves bound together between said covhave hereunto set my hand, at Milwaukee, in ers, the detachable leaves being of greater the county of Milwaukee and State of Vis- Width than the permanent leaves, and each of consin, in the presence of two Witnesses.
